KUNS 1385 Onset of Rotational Damping in Superdeformed Nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss damping of the collective rotational motion in A ∼ 150 superdeformed nuclei by means of a shell model combining the cranked Nilsson mean-filed and the surface-delta two-body residual force. It is shown that, because of the shell structure associated with the superdeformed mean-field, onset energy of the rotational damping becomes Ex ∼ 2− 3 MeV above yrast line, which is much higher than in normal deformed nuclei. The mechanism of the shell structure effect is investigated through detailed analysis of level densities in superdeformed nuclei. It is predicted the onset of damping varies in different supedeformed nuclei along with variation in the single-particle structure at the Fermi surface.

متن کاملShell Effects on Rotational Damping in Superdeformed Nuclei
Damping of collective rotational motion in A ∼ 190 and A ∼ 150 superdeformed nuclei is studied by means of the cranked shell model with two-body residual force. Numerical calculations predict that in a typical A ∼ 190 superdeformed nucleus, Hg, the rotational damping width is significantly small, Γrot ∼ 30 keV, and that the number of superdeformed bands in the off-yrast region amounts up to 150...
متن کاملHigh spin experiments at EUROBALL and GAMMASPHERE
Introduction Understanding the properties of superdeformed matter requires the knowledge of the quantum numbers spin, parity and excitation energy of superdeformed states. These quantities allow for stringent tests of theoretical orbital assignments and more importantly, they test the ability of theory to correctly calculate shell correction energies, without which superdeformed nuclei would no...
متن کاملSuperdeformation: Perspectives and prospects
We present a review of the mean-field approaches describing superdeformed states, which are currently used and/or being developed. As an example, we discuss in more details the properties of superdeformed A∼60 nuclei, and present results of calculations for the rotational band in the doubly magic superdeformed nucleus S.
متن کاملShell Model for Warm Rotating Nuclei
In order to provide a microscopic description of levels and E2 transitions in rapidly rotating nuclei with internal excitation energy up to a few MeV, use is made of a shell model which combines the cranked Nilsson mean-field and the residual surface delta two-body force. The damping of collective rotational motion is investigated in the case of a typical rare-earth nucleus, namely Yb . It is f...
